An influential Orthodox Jewish business group with a history of backing
powerful New York Democrats is crossing party lines to endorse Rep. Lee
Zeldin over Gov. Kathy Hochul in the race for governor.

Saying Hochul “failed” to make key changes to New York’s controversial
bail laws and reduce crime, Duvi Honig, CEO of the Wall Street-based
Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce, told The Post that New York needs a
governor that exhibits an “unwavering stand on violent crime” — and Zeldin
is the man for the job.

“Violent criminals endanger local businesses and institutions, jeopardize
the lives and livelihoods of law-abiding individuals, and harm state and
local economies and the sense of security all residents of New York need
and deserve,” said Honig in his endorsement letter.

“Gov. Kathy Hochul has not risen to meet the urgency of the moment,” he
wrote.

Honig also said he was disturbed by Hochul’s refusal to call Albany
lawmakers into a special session to address bail reform fixes this summer
— dubbing it a diss to Mayor Eric Adams.

“Ms. Hochul essentially gave him the cold shoulder. Gov. Hochul has failed
to exhibit any interest or desire to rectify the wrongs being committed
daily against peaceful residents and businesses of the Empire State.”

It’s the Long Island congressman’s latest endorsement from a Hasidic
group, as earlier this week he received backing from several Brooklyn-
based, Orthodox organizations.

Hochul has been trying to clinch support in these key neighborhoods as
well, but has come under fire from the Orthodox Jewish communities after
state education officials released new oversight rules governing yeshivas
and other private schools.

Honig’s group also endorsed Adams’ mayoral bid last year and previously
backed other Democrats including state Attorney General Letitia James and
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy.

He recently called out President Biden for failing to include his group in
the White House’s anti-hate summit held in Washington, DC in September.

Honig tried to RSVP to the event after the Rev. Al Sharpton requested the
gathering in the wake of the horrific Buffalo massacre that killed 10
black shoppers in May.

It’s important to have Orthodox Jewish representation recognized by the
White House, Honig said, given that nearly one third of antisemitic
incidents recorded in 2021 – around 800 out of 2,700 – happened in New
Jersey or New York.

Honig told The Post he also joined an emergency call organized by Adams
and NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell at noon Friday following reports
that the FBI is looking into threats against Jewish synagogues in New
Jersey.

“Safety is of the utmost concern to the Orthodox Jewish community in New
York. Recent years — particularly those following the instatement of New
York’s bail reform laws – have seen a disturbing rise in anti-Semitic
attacks, many of them violent, that have largely gone unpunished and
unaddressed,” said Honig.

“The Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce appreciates and values the
friendship and working relationship it has with Governor Hochul and her
administration, but as violent crime continues unabated, we are unable to
support her candidacy for a full term as governor.”

This is huge. The Orthodox Jews vote as a block and they do take the time to come out and vote and
there are A LOT OF THEM.
They like Asians, are typically targeted for crime because they look and dress differently in their
penguin outfits.

Gonna be interesting.
